Heading Into 2023 With Shields UP

Published on December 31, 2022

Participating in this world without SHIELDS UP is risky business.

  • Misery is constantly looking for company
  • Haters are always looking for someone to hate
  • Energy vampires are never not hunting for energy to suck

…Not to mention all of the manipulative / narcissistic / weird types on the loose.

If you want to protect yourself, you need to engage in the world with SHIELDS UP.

You should consider: building better boundaries, raising your vibration, upgrading your self-image, avoiding certain types of people, criticism surgery, etc.

This way your energy, attention, and time are protected and saved for those who you most want to devote your life’s most precious resources to throughout each of your days.

Cheers to a great year ahead.

Dream People

Published on December 19, 2022

Do our dream people find us… or do we find them?

…Both.

I think the point is to be open to the infinite possibilities of the world and to constantly expose ourselves to others while simultaneously engaging with those who curiously cross our paths—both directly and subtly.

Waiting to be found isn’t a good strategy.

And neither is desperately searching.

Somewhere in the middle though? …I think is where the real magic of connection happens.

The Gift of Initiative

Published on December 12, 2022

When you are feeling lonely, it’s important to remember that there are MANY people around you who feel exactly the same.

In fact, as ironic as it might sound in today’s hyperconnected world, it’s probably more often the case than not that the people around you are feeling lonely more than they’re not.

That in mind, do for others what you secretly crave is done for you:

  • Shoot that text
  • Make that call
  • Schedule that coffee

Think of what it might mean to you to get that invitation… and be the bearer of that gift to somebody else.

P.s. In case you missed it, you can read the best of what I posted to MoveMe Quotes last week, here.

Maybe It’s Not You

Maybe it’s not:

  • Depression (non-clinical)
  • Self-induced anxiety
  • Poor self-control
  • Awful self-image
  • Laziness

Maybe you’re just hanging around the wrong people.

Less Frustrating

Published on November 22, 2022

Other people are not here to:

  • Treat you perfectly
  • Rave about your work
  • Meet your expectations
  • Clean up after your messes
  • Agree with your every opinion
  • Conform to your belief systems
  • Celebrate your every step forward in life
  • Change their lives so you don’t have to change yours
  • Act in a way that aligns with your lifestyle and healing
  • Watch closely and respond immediately to your timeline affairs

Realize this and suddenly, life becomes a whole lot less frustrating.

P.s. I don’t have any Black Friday sales, but if you see any of these books on sale this weekend, I would definitely recommend getting them. And here’s my full library of quoted books :)

Energy Accounts

Published on November 3, 2022

You don’t make your bank accounts easily accessible, do you?

Well, if it’s true that time > money… and how you manage your time is really how you’re choosing to manage your energy… why then would you make your energy easily accessible?

Your bank account would be empty if everybody had access to it… which might be why you feel drained all of the time…

If everybody has access to your “energy account,” it should come as no surprise that it’s frequently empty.

When you limit the accessibility, you increase the amount that’s available to those who do have access.

…Including, probably most notably, yourself.

P.s. I’m making an effort on LinkedIn again. Would love to connect with you :)
